Before starting up your spa, make sure you have read and understand all of the previous
instructions. Make sure the spa has been installed correctly, including the electrical wiring
connections as specified,
• Spa's water is at the correct level
• Pump is primed
To prime the air from the system,
simply turn open the key type screw
at the right end of the motor/pump.
The key should be turned just enough
to allow the excess air in the water
lines to escape. When a spurt of
water is flowing, close the screw and
you have completed the priming of
the pump.
• Ensure all valves are opened
• Turn circuit breaker on
The control panel has automatic functions that operate upon start up and normal operation to
protect the system. Upon power up, the read out will display three-digit software release.
This number will then change to 888 while the system is booting up. After starting up, the low
speed pump will start running if the water temperature is below 100°F (37.8°C). If a "FL1"
appears on the display,turn the system off and repeat step 2. If the water temperature is
below 55°F (12.8°C) "ICE" will alternately display with the water temperature, this is normal
operation.
Approximately two minutes after the system has been powered up, the first filtration cycle will
begin to operate. Any time after the start up, you will be able to change the filter cycle and
reset your temperature set point
NOTE: Let run 3 seconds, if no water flow can be detected, turn off the power to the spa and
re-prime the pump.
On Cold startups, the air valve must be closed.
